both Indians, killing them almost in

The Emperor, replying to their address,
said that the ailment of the Crown Prince
was severe visitation, especially in view
of his high position and his great abili-
ties for continuing the direction OF the
policy of Prussia and Germany IN man
uer which would have enabled the En-
peror to close his eyes in peace. What
Providence might further decree none

IA Sligo Landlord" sends to Tues
days Times a very curious account
of the effect of the somewhat tardy)
interference of the Government in his
W case, in II letter headed "Cause
and Effect On the previous Friday,
he says, his agent attended a market
town = Connaught to receive rents.
He was asked whether he would give
an abatement on judicial rents, and
his reply was u refusal. Well, then,
said the { enants, they would pay none;
they had not got the money the
money could not be made. The agent
shut up hisbooks and went off 10 dinner.
in the meantime, the news came from
Dublin that Mr.. Dillon Ind been cit
ed to appear in the Court Of Queens
Bench to show cause why a criminal
information should not be taken
against him for Intimidation. "Within
an hour of the papers being SO distri-
buted, every penny was paid. These
i~mpccunious tenants even came knock
ing OF the window Of the room where
the agent was dining, to urge him to
come out and receive rents which an
hour before they had not got at ALL"
1t is a pity that the Sligo landlord is
not bold enough TO sign his name.
Intimidation exerted on the tenants
side produces almost as much secrecy
nowin the Landlords, as intimidatuon.on
the landlords side once produced in
the tenants.

General D7gbys WilIougbby, "Ambas-
sador" frBh The Queen Of Madagascar,
publishes "a Series nfLoIetters in the
papers Which SHOW thatwar between
Madngascas and FIhnce is very neal.
The Treaty of DeSember 18th, 1885,
was, when signed, accompanied by
an explanatory letter from the French
representatives which Whitfield down
the French claim to a Protectorate
till it covered nothing but a general
supervision of political arrangements
between madagascar and foreign
States. This letter the Malagasy
Premier insisted should become part
of the Treaty, and the French Pleni-
potentiaries nj last agreed to the
arrangement. They have, however,
since declared that the letter was
not binding, and have insisted or
their right to forbid the Queen from
contracting a loan without their CON
sent, or 4 leAy0R@6 Mpt the customs.
General WiFloughbgIw aS accordingly
sent to Ettr0p6 toaoiptmaI in redress; and,
failing TO- obtainf itofrom NJ. de Frey
cinrt EAh9 publishes the documents,
with ill Expression 0fd,is W opinion
that the MalagaSy will fight, and that
they are much better prepared than
they were in 1885. The whole 0 r
respondcnce leaves on our minds the
impression that the Government of
Madagascar is resolved, and hat
France must either retire or conquer

extra twelve millions sterling, to be
expended in perfecting the war
mat6rieL. Nj. Goblet has conceded
thus, as, we'll as Admiral Aube's five
millions for swift steel cruisers. These
demands, made at a time when
economy is nominally in the nscen-
dant, indicate that the Government
expects war; but, Of course, they
have still to be accepted by the
Chamber. M Goblet, however, would
not have agreed to endorse them
unless lie had hoped for a majority.

in the Committee, which is only part
~ secret, the Minister of War produc-
ed evidence that the Austrian Army
was not in a position TO encounter
successfully that of Russia-a fact all
Russians believe.
The Irish Revolution, like the
French, is beginning to devour it's
own children. The Feninns of New
York have not requested ODonovan
Rossa to resign, but have called n
Convention, which has found him
guilty of fraud, treachery, treason,
persistent violation of the constitution
in financial matters, and gross indis-
cretions." They have consequently
expelled him. O'Donovan Rosa says
he is innocent, and refuses 10 return
the accounts or the correspondence he
has received. The Fenians have no
gulllotine at command but unless their
Marat submits, he will probably not
be a Iong-lived man. If we remember
right the T~errorists were growing
tired of Marat when Charlotte CordaY
made him a martyr. The next step
ought 10 be for the Irish Mountain,
the Fenians, to abolish the Irish Oh
ronde, M9ssrs. Parnell, Dillon, and the
rest j; and Ihen to be abolished itself,
perhaps by some collision with
American feeling. But history rarely
repeats itself so ~exnctly. 1t is, how.
ever, safe to predict, upon historical
grounds, that it is from Irishmen, and
not Epglishmen, that the punishment
of all who have sanctioned or profit
ed by the Irish Terror will come. The
justice of Heaven has often in it a
trace of irony.
